Edward Partridge

Edward Partridge

Edward Partridge (August 27, 1793—May 27, 1840) was an early member of the Latter Day Saint movement, the first person to hold the prominent position of Bishop and Presiding Bishop. Partridge died in 1840 at Nauvoo, Illinois. Joseph Smith commented that his death could be attributed to the stresses and persecutions accosted on him and other Mormon settlers in western Missouri in the 1830s.

Patridge was the de facto Presiding Bishop of the Church from 1831 until his death. However, the term and formal position of Presiding Bishop of the Church did not come into common usage until after Partridge's death. Nevertheless, it is evident that Partridge was acknowledged (then and now) as a Churchwide authority.
